Leo Landry.
This book highlights the differences and similarities between two brothers as they have fun together all year long. The text can be awkward, sometimes fitting words in just to complete the rhyme ("My brother's short with stompy feet. / I'm tall, not small. I like to eat"). Clean watercolor and pencil illustrations showcase the siblings' cheerfulness as they enjoy each other's company.
